Jail, was crematea in her cell yesterday

she wanted to die.

A Warrant for Colorow.

DENVER August 30.-A special from
Glenwood Springs says f. II. Swindeller
has sworn out warrant for Colorow, on
a charge of murder. The warrant will go
forward to Sheriff Kendall by courier

make it difficult for the authorities, fed

Nav TO BelI.

Dear Bell-l'll write you short letter
To say I'm wonderfully better;
How much that means you ought TO know,
Who saw me just one month ago
Thin, nervous, fretful, white as chalk,
Almost too weak TO breathe or talk;
Head throbbing, as If flt for breaking,
A weary, ever.present aching.
But now life seems different thing;
feel as glad as bird on wingi
say, and fear no contradiction,
That Pierces Favorite Prescription
Is grand Why, I'd have died without itl
Ma thinks there's no mistake about 1t.
It's driven all my ills away;
just come and seel Yours ever, MAY.

summer remarkable for curious occur

the thought that it has attracted metro

fact that Judge Potter's work on the Sharp

ural and logical that he should be
pronounced and aggressive in op-
position to the tyranny and in
justice of the Liquor Traffic. Be-
ing constant reader and close
student of the politics Of the times,
his interest increased with the
rapid growth of the Prohibition
cause, and in late years he was one
OF its most Jealous advocates and
substantial supporters.
We speak whereof we do know
when we say he was the true and
W arm friend of the Freeman and
editor, for the sake of the
cause they tried to serve, and in
which he had an absorbing inter-
est.
Personally the writer mourns
Mr.. Caswell, not as a trusted and
tried friend only, but also as a
fatherly counsellor and comforter.
In the trials and struggles that al
ways come with the effort to build
up a Temperance paper, as in
any enterprise for the uplift of hu-
manity, we could confidently and
always draw on this sure reserve
for sympathy, good cheer, encour-
agement and help.
AS to his deep interest in the
work of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, and quiet ben
efactions, particular mention is
made by the w. G. T. U. editor in
that department of this issue.
In his death the State loses a
true patriot, the suffering and
needy lose a quiet benefactor, a
faithful wife is bereft of a devoted
and loving life partner, the four
sorrowing children lose gener-
GUS and kind father, and the cause
of Temperance and Prohibition
loses a jealous friend and helper
in words and works.

While the editor of the State

The Amendment is not defeated
and neither party is entitled to
the credit of its submission.
A Prohibitory Act which would
go into effect at once, hung like the
sword of Damocles above the liquor
traffic, and to avert impending
doom, three Senators, all Demo-
Gratis, changed their votes to "aye,"
which gave two more than the re-

The w. G. II. u. in jail.

A number of the ladies of the
W. C. T. U. held religious services
in the Jail last Sabbath.
The prisoners were very atten-

they would come oftener.
When asked how many of them
had never drank, not a single hand
was raised. Some of them were
mere boys.
With the numerous saloons and
questionable places of amusement
in the city, fathers and mothers of
Parkersburg may well ask the
question very often, "Where is my

West of Portsmouth O., died at the
residence of his son-in-law MIN.

age of 70 years. He had been on

years been an active friend of the
Temperance ca use. He enjoyed tell
